[00:00:00] Engine 143 - The Carter Family

[00:00:01] Written by：Maybelle Carter/Alvin Pleasant Delaney Carter/Sara Carter

[00:00:30] Along came the F15 the swiftest on the line

[00:00:38] Running o'er the C O road

[00:00:43] Just twenty minutes behind

[00:00:47] Running into Cevile head porters on the line

[00:00:53] Receiving their strict orders

[00:00:57] From a station just behind

[00:01:01] Georgie's mother came to him

[00:01:05] With a bucket on her arm

[00:01:09] Saying my darling son be careful how you run

[00:01:15] For many a man has lost his life

[00:01:20] In trying to make lost time

[00:01:24] And if you run your engine right

[00:01:28] You'll get there just on time

[00:01:33] Up the road he darted against

[00:01:37] The rocks he crushed

[00:01:40] Upside down the engine turned

[00:01:44] And Georgie's breast did smash

[00:01:48] His head was against the firebox

[00:01:50] Door the flames are rolling high

[00:01:55] I'm glad I was born for an

[00:01:58] Engineer to die on the C O road

[00:02:04] The doctor said to Georgie

[00:02:08] My darling boy be still

[00:02:11] Your life may yet be saved

[00:02:15] If it is God's blessed will

[00:02:18] Oh no said George that will

[00:02:21] Not do I want to die so free

[00:02:26] I want to die for the engine

[00:02:29] I love one hundred and forty three

[00:02:35] The doctor said to Georgie

[00:02:39] Your life cannot be saved

[00:02:42] Murdered upon a railroad

[00:02:46] And laid in a lonesome grave

[00:02:49] His face was covered up with blood

[00:02:54] His eyes they could not see

[00:02:57] And the very last words poor Georgie

[00:03:00] Said was nearer my God to thee
